    Any tips on LED's

    I was thinking about accenting my interior a little more with LED's. Speaker rings for the Polks and the Roswell horns? Cup holders? Pics and tips would be great. I don't want to overload circuits, tie into my interior lights? Don't want to do anything dangerous to the LINC either.

    thanks

    The one thing you wont do with LED's is overload circuits.

    Many options on speaker and cupholder rings. Make yourself, buy professionally made, or know someone who can make them. (I know someone who is cheaper than professional)

    For me, I did my own speaker rings. Individual LED's in the ring. But if I did it today I would use the ribbon style.
    The cupholder rings were supplied with the new engine vent but they were bought from a Malibu dealer.
    The lights up under the side are NEON's from an under car kit. 48" and 36". Dont do NEON as they have the same thing in LED strips now and less power required than NEON.

    What color you thinking?

    All wired to one extra AC switch.

    Let me know if you have more questions or want my contact.

      Very nice. Im not sure on color. It's all black and white and I'm not sure what will look best. Maybe white to match the courtesy lights?

      im looking for ideas, and thank you for the offer to help.

        Go with blue. It's easy and looks good in any boat. IMO.

          Do a search on this forum, or possibly CorrectCraftFan forum for LED. I seen a thread showing a Nautique with red LEDs. I had PM'd him regarding his source for the LEDs, and he replied that he purchased the LEDs from Amazon. They sell red, and blue LEDs. I plan to buy the blue LEDs for my SANTE.

              Great looking boat Double D...even though it seems to have a strange M-word on the transom JK. Did you get your underwater lights from your contact also or where did you source those?

                Yeah, I started on a Tique and brother has an 04 SN 206 and I love them both. And yes, the same contact provided the underwater lights and he is working on the next mass purchase deal for those. PM me if you are interested in contacting him and I will pass his info along.

                  PM sent.

                  I was just poking a little fun but MCs are great boats and if I didn't own a Nautique I would almost definitely be in an MC.

                    Those are pretty cool Double D. Nice work. Were the clear plastic rings that the LEDs light up already on the speakers and cupholders or did you add that as part of the project?

                      Thanks! The clear plastic rings we cut from a plexiglass sheet and we installed the led's. It was a pain in the butt!! My contact has the right tooling to make it easy.
